Episode 168: Lagavulin 8 Year Single Malt Scotch Whisky
12 February, 2026
I first tried the Lagavulin 8 Year at a Whisky Club night, and I really wanted to review it properly on the show. I do a deep dive into Distillation cuts, where the Peat lives and how aging Peated Whiskies change over time in a barrel. Finally I review the dram and see how well it stacks up against it’s older sibling.

Episode 117: GlenDronach Ode To The Embers Single Malt Scotch Whisky
7 September, 2025
With the Odes to the Valley and the Dark now reviewed, the final release in the series, the Ode to the Embers, harkens back to the days when GlenDronach peated their malts. For me, it’s the first modern Peated GlenDronach I’ve ever tried. It’s also the most expensive, but is it actually the best one of the series? Or did we peak with the Dark?

Having just bought the Ode’s without trying them, I was relieved when the Valley was quite alright. The second most expensive and the hottest offering, their Ode to the Dark, is the next on my list to try. Maturation in Pedro Ximénez Sherry Casks certainly sounds like my kind of Whisky…there’s only one way to know…

I’ve become a bit of a GlenDronach fanboy…so when they released a set of three as a special release, I just bought them all without trying them first. I know, I know, I broke my own rule. They call them the Ode’s and this one is their Ode to the Valley. Did I make a mistake buying them without trying them first? Let’s start with their Ode to the Valley…and find out…

With over a hundred Whisky reviews now in the books, I thought it might be fun to review and clip together the highlights of my Ten most favourite Whiskies from the first one hundred I’ve reviewed on the show. Remember that taste is subjective and this is just my opinion, but these are some truly amazing drams. Enjoy!

Episode 113: Least Favourite Whiskies First 100 Reviews Edition
16 August, 2025
With over a hundred Whisky reviews now in the books, I thought it might be fun to review and clip together the highlights of my 8 least favourite Whiskies from the first one hundred I’ve reviewed on the show. Remember that taste is subjective and this is just my opinion, and if you really like the 1495 Blended Scotch by Woolworths…power to ya…but it’s not for me. Enjoy!
